Homemade Berry, Lemon and Chia Jam

Homemade jam is SO simple to make, using only a few ingredients and taking only a short while.

To make this berry, lemon and chia seed jam you will need:

Ingredients

• The juice of 1/2 lemon
• 400g berries (frozen or fresh)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

Equipment:

• Medium sized, heavy-bottomed pan
• Fork
• 1 large glass jar (or two smaller ones)

Place the berries and maple syrup in the pan and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Cook on a medium heat for around 10 minutes.

Using a fork, mash any larger pieces of fruit that still remain.

Sprinkle over the chia seeds and then stir in.

Cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the jam is nice and thick.

Leave to cool completely.

Pour jam into the jar(s) and place in the fridge. The jam will last for up to two weeks.
